hardcore realm, so be prepared.
Racial Slurs
If we see it in a public channel, you will be banned. It's that simple.
Doxing
Bringing a player's personal information into the game is grounds for banning.
This is a fantasy game, leave the personal information out of it.

second is allowed.
No characters may be used as mules or holders.

Ganghouses are not a fortress. They can and will be broken into, so place your
valuables accordingly
Lives can be bought at healers for 2 runic each

One retraining of stats will be allowed per person maximum so take care
building your characters.

No playing chars with op powers and a general hands-off approach
No griefing - griefing includes but is not limited to: Harassment, spamming and
dragging monsters onto someone's script. We reserve the right to include other
forms of griefing that may not be listed. Continued griefing may result in your
expulsion from the PvE realm for the remainder of the reset.

Since this is a friendly realm and nobody is likely to change anyone's
mind let's keep politics out of the public channels and keep public channels
clear of argument and bickering.
Page/Telepath bombing is not allowed.
Failure to set up your megamud properly is your fault, not ours.

Racial Slurs
Not allowed over gossips.  Period.  If you simply MUST use them then you will
confine them to gang paths, telepaths, and broadcasts.  If the person you are
talking to is offended by them then you will stop.

Doxing
Bringing a player's personal information into the game is grounds for banning.
This is a fantasy game, leave the personal information out of it.

Flaming
Don't do it.  If you know the person won't be offended, that's fine.  If
someone asks you to stop, then stop.

Why is there no voting on Limited's being unlimited?
is there other options?
like lowering the % per limited drop or upping the % drops?
this is PVP realm...in long run limited items will play out and pvp players will use other items if a unlimited didn't drop ....or

OR
you kill a player that has one you want... if that other player has the unlimited... part of the game..


so can we get a VOTE on this. at least on the % of Unlimited drops ??
 

[MudHunter]

Im not even sure what that was saying. There's like no lims anymore. Everything has a drop rate.  What exactly would we be voting on?

[Excarkun]

that the Problem NO limiteds PERIOD.. unless your a carebear player which maybe you are I can see why you don't understand ..
this is Dumb having

NO limiteds.. I hate it .. really if it not changing... why bother playing .pvp... 

[MudHunter]

Can always quit, I guess.  We've done just fine without ya.

Basically you wanna try and be a dick and kill people to take gear.  Thats fine. But that cuts both ways. If you do play, I hope you can hide, cuz I'll make it my personal mission to keep you naked.

This decision was made 7 years ago when we began the project to extend the game past the original data. Rare is every bit as valuable as limited and yet someone starting later to a game can still manage to get a decent set of gear.

1) To do lims on one and no lims on the other would mean keeping 2 distinct data sets up to date with every single change or update and that is too much work to do for a very small group doing this a hobby for free.

2) There are currently 3 games running including a stock data realm with limiteds in place at the original drop rates. If none of those games satisfy you then my advice is to look elsewhere.

so the pvp and pve are the same basically but one has Corpses' and other doesn't  in the data..

I was asking if we can tweak the drops.. but if you do it for pvp  then you got to do it for pve? 

ok ..
..
poopy

[Winterhawk]

Corpses are an engine mechanic and are governed by a setting of time to decay...pvp is set to 0 or instant.
